Great review, thanks. Looks like the perfect head torch for camping at this time of year, light weight and still enough power if you have to walk out in an emergency. Beam shots in video very impressive.
Hi John, I hope that you enjoyed this review and thank you for your comments. As you say a perfect head lamp for camping this time of year and probably the winter too... It has a great combination of attributes. ATB Tom
Great to see your channel doing really well Tom. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I’m in the market soon for another headtorch, so I’ll certainly add this Ledlenser to my selection. The focusable beam looks like a very good idea, as does the magnetic charging.
Hi Barry thank you very much once again for your comments. I have another video up tonight which you will appreciate.... ATB Tom
This excellent, Tom. Really good to see the torch in a real world setting. This would be a great option as part of a light weight setup. Love the magnetic charging function!
Hi Phil, Its time you had a new Ledlenser and this would be perfect for your Summer set up. Not to pricey either and good enough for most winter trips too... ATB Tom
I bought this on a whim at REI in the states because it was only $30 open box/return. Glad I did! Thanks for explaining everything!
Hey no worries thank you for your comments... Its a great light especially at that price. All the very best with it.. I would prefer the MH5 over the MH7 due to being smaller and lighter..
Just bought one. Looks impressive. Great review. Thanks
I hope you get on very well with it. I think it's a great headlamp... ATVB Tom
Great job as always Tom. Cracking looking light
Hi Stuart, thank you once again for your continued support. It's a great light with many impressive features. ATB Tom
Looks a brilliant head torch Tom, thanks for the review.
Hi Dave, once again thank you for your support and positive comments. I know that you like your lights and have a few great ones yourself. ATB Tom
Great review, love how it performs in the field. Great Headlamp.
Hi Torty, thank you I love field tests... This is a great lamp with great power at a very light weight... ATB Tom
My head torch is from 2009 and clearly showing som wear and tear, ie cables and battery casing that are taped. The mh5 might just be my next piece of equipment. Thank you for the good review.
Hey thank you for watching. There is a lot of choice out there but after much research I bought the MH5 and am very impressed at it combination of great features. I do love Ledlenser lights as I am sure you can guess as this is about my 6th one.. Good luck with what ever you choose to go for. ATB Tom
Good review Tom. Rather late in the day, but here's wishing you a fantastic Father's Day.
Hi David, thank you for the comments and best wishes. I hope that you enjoyed the review and are keeping well. ATB Tom
perfect and detailled review! greets from Germany!!
Thank you for your positive comments. Another one on the new Ledlenser NEO5R coming up very soon... ATVB Tom
My gf bought it for me and I use it during running. So far I'm happy with it :)
Hey thank you for watching and commenting. The MH5 is a great light for running due to its power and lightweight.. I hope you continue to be happy with it. ATB Tom
Really good review and video made my mind up for me just ordered oneoff Amazon
Hey great to hear.. Some really good deals on Amazon... I Hope you are really delighted with the head lamp.. best wishes Tom
Thanks for another great review Tom, I don't do running or cycling so I have got have gotten by with a couple of wee petzel E lite + for my son and I, they are so small and completely fine for camp admin and reading. However I realised while walking with they they are not suitable for night walking. So I ordered the MH5 from bikester for £36 delivered just in case I need to abort after dark 🙄😁
Hi Sam, yes there are some great deals about on the MH5 at the moment. I hope that you will be really happy with it as I know that I certainly am. ATB Tom
Hey tom hope you are well!.Great review as always.Looks a great bit of kit and at £49 a great price.Am a bit of an olite man myself.Looks a well thought out head torch.Ive had ones with the wider thicker head bands and my only criticism would be once they get wet depending how much water they soak up they start slipping down your head or you have to tighten them so much because of that they become uncomfortable.
Hi Stuart, thank you for watching my review. Great feedback regarding the thicker head bands. The one on this MH5 is broad but not too much and feels very stable without having to tighten it too much. The Olite lights look very good as they have many different models with decent weights, features and run times. ATB Tom
Have the same light....works great.
Hi Adrian, the MH5 is one of my favourites from Ledlenser.. You picked very well... ATB Tom
I like the way the battery charges, on my seo5 with the rechargeable battery block the usb connector often fails. This looks a better option
Hey thank you for your comments... I have found the magnetic charging really good. Be nice maybe to have a little more power in the magnet but once you are aware that is can be knocked off a little easy you can manage this no worries... best wishes tom
Thank you, this is the best video review of the MH5! I have just two questions - is the headband reflective and how powerful is the red light? Would the red light be useful for walking around at night? It doesn't matter if the range is low, but can you see what's in front of your feet 1-2 meters?
Hey thanks for watching and really appreciate the positive comments. No the headband is not reflective.. I find the red light gives just enough light to see where you are walking and my night vision is not great... I hope this helps... Tom
If you are a runner, I highly recommend this headlamp, it doesn't rattle around as much as some of its competitors, you don't want the light bouncing around everywhere as you're running, it's annoying. The only complaint I would have is it is a little bit out of my budget, but I got a deal on it. Cabellas matched a rock bottom online retailers price!
Hi Jesse, thank you for watching and your input here. IMO the MH5 is a great running lamp and I have a friend who uses his for exactly that on a frequent basis.. ATB Tom
I'm nut sure weather to buy mh8 or the fenix hl60r.... The beam changing feature is really cool but i heard that it's inefficient and looses some Power. My dad got the mh5 and it's good but not bright enough for me when i'm riding my bike in the forest at night.
Thank you for your comments. My choice would be the Ledlenser H7R Core which is a similar price to the Fenix. There is a fantastic tight spot on this lamp as well as the wide flood option. Its a bit larger but this means the bezel for the focus is easier to rotate and adjust when on the fly.. I don't have any experience with Fenix lights but have looked at the spec and reviews on line and they do very well...The H7R Core is definitely my favourite headlamp and I have quite a few current ones and many from different brands inn the past... I hope that this helps... ATB Tom
@@TOMHEANEY100 thank's a lot for notifying! I looked it up and it's looking very promising but i already ordered the HL60R :)
If you may, Is it hard to change battery in the dark? How long does it last on normal AA batteries on 400lm mode?
I always carry some sort of power 🔋 bank on any trip as my back to a number of devices in preference to an aa battery spare.. You get better use if you can use something for multiple purposes.. But I understand each person will choose different equipment.. I am sure it will run for a couple of hours on the aa but the lumen output will drop off as the battery loses power.. ATVB Tom
Forget the AA get yourself a spare 14500.....and awap it out......that battery makes this light rock.....
Just bought the MH4....
Hi Marcus, thank you for your comments. Are you happy with the MH4? ATB Tom
Seems light and nice features but will it really run at 400 lumen for 4.30 h? I guess it will step down within minutes
Hi Anders, 400 lumen is not a massive light output so it runs at this constant for the duration then goes into a reserve mode... This is honestly one of my favourite lights due to its light out put, weight, run time and changeable beam pattern... ATB Tom
@@TOMHEANEY100 Thanks, thats good news. Had A SEO7 Ledlenser about 200 lumen, good enough for me so 400 is plenty for my EDC and fishing needs. I'll probably try one and hope the button lasts longer than 3 years this time. Or maybe I'll try the Fenix hm51r ruby V2.0, but prefer the availability of ordinary 14500.
Would u reccomend the mh5 headtorch
Hi Matthew, yes absolutely. It has a great combination of weight, power output and run times. Compact too with that great focusable beam. ATB Tom
@@TOMHEANEY100 does the mh5 charger work on the h7r core or not
so this light can only output 20 lumens or 400 lumens? nothing else in between??
Yes you are right.. This is a bit of a pity but the MH5 is still one of my favourite headlamps which I have bought for two of my friends as presents because I like it so much.. best wishes Tom
@@TOMHEANEY100 I believe you. I've researched many many headlamps and this is one of the ones that I like the most.
There is one that is even BETTER, but has one big problem: LEDLENSER H5 Core. Instead of a button it has a dial, so you can regulate the brightness to exactly what you want, which is perfect. The big problem: it has no red light! No red light = bad for camping.
I have a Streamlight Sidewinder II headlamp. It also has a dial, and has red/blue/green/IR lights. Can use CR123 or AA batteries, and is waterproof. Problem is that it only makes 50 lumens of light.
@@foxkenji Hey great to hear from you and your thoughts 💭 regarding the head lamps... I actually am such a fan of the rotating dimmer control and love it on my H7r core and H15r cores... Never really considered the H5r core as I have the H7r core but must have a look .. Thank you once again for your experience and this helps me too as I am always up to hear what works for others and why.. Best wishes Tom
Can u use the mh5 charger on the h7r core
Hi Matthew, thank you for your comments on this and one of my other videos. You do not actually get a charger with the lights but you do get the appropriate cable with the light. The answer directly to your question is no, the cables are different but that's shouldn't matter as long as you don't lose it.... ATB Tom
@@TOMHEANEY100 the thing is I have lost the cable for my h7rcore and the price for a new one is around 14pounds
@@matthewwatson8885 Hey fair enough, that's a pain but also a bit frustrating that they are different cables. I first noticed this from different cables from the ML4 and ML 6 lanterns. I will give Ledlenser a try for you and see if they will send me a free spare if you are not in too much of a hurry.... ATB Tom
@@TOMHEANEY100 thanks Tom I appreciate that
@@matthewwatson8885 Hi Matthew, I have a cable for you.... if you are happy to send me your details to FB messenger I will post it out... facebook.com/tom.heaney.144 Dont worry about any cost or postage. ATB Tom
Pro tip: use a spare rechargeable battery that is compatible, if you use an alkaline spare, make sure you don't try to charge it
Hi Jesse, than you for this comment and tip. ATB Tom
Thanks for the tip - would any rechargable Li battery work (if it's the correct size, of course)?
After 2 years of use it is broken where you have to pull out the battery for recharging, so this is a weak point, it’s not strong enough & quite dufficult to unscrew....
Not what you want but at least you will have warranty cover if you registered it. Sorry to hear this.. ATB with getting it sorted.. Tom
Is this the magnetic charging model ?
